BOYS RETURN
HOME AGAIN
After Extended Visit to South
America
Ed Brannin and Harry Wilt-
bank, have just returned from a
trip to South America. It was
something like five months ago,
when|these young gentlemen left
to explore the unknown parts of
Chile. The route taken to this
land below the equator, was by
rail to San Francisco, at which
place they sailed for Chile. They
report a very pleasant trip, and
that they saw no country that
would compare with this, and
that even in those lower regions
the people were asking about the
Famous Knox Prairie.

our city Tuesday with a band of
men to begin work toward de-
veloping the mines.
Ed Burnes, of near Cliff was

SAID tho poet unto the sccr:
How shall I learn to tell
What I know of heaven and belli
I speak, but to ashes turn
The passions that In me burn.
I shout to tho skies, but I hoar
No answer from man or Uod.
Shall 1 cast my lyre to the sod.
Rest and give over the strife
And sink in a voiceless life?
Said the seer to the poet: Arise
And Rive to the seas and the skies

The word that from out thy heart
Flameth, do thou thy part.
